Hi Maniac, There is a group of players that meet regularly just up the road in St.Neots their Facebook group page is HERE. Nice bunch of players, they play in a little pub every Tuesday evening. I run a campaign in Upper Caldecote that is full at the moment but we do plan on running one shot PFS scenarios every now and then and you'd be welcome to come along. Hope that helps, Apoc/Rob

They would if I ask but it is not them purposely gaming the system, it's just we have fought a LOT of skeletons and it is almost second nature. This is about throwing some variety in there by not using the same tired monsters (well classic, i never tire of squishing goblins!). thanks for your reply though :)
one more question if I may, I have subscribed to the modules and got my 15% discount (from AP subscription) on the first book but it has not applied to the next Pathfinder Module: Down the Blighted Path (PFRPG). Should my discount apply to it? Sorry if I am being stupid, it has been one of those weeks :)
thanks for the ideas, I am looking at throwing some monsters that my players are likely to never have heard of as a change of pace. it will also avoid the metagaming that occurs when you throw a well known beasty at a group. A skeleton drops at the table and everyone switches out for blunt weapons. Throw a gribbly and obscure monster at them and they pause for thought and think about the encounter.
I am currently in the planning stage for a campaign and one thing that I would like to do is avoid using monsters that have appeared in PFS, modules and APs. Is there a breakdown anywhere of what monsters have appeared across Paizo's published adventures that i can use to pick the more seldom used or less common creatures from? Hope that makes sense, coffee level is currently only at 2% Cheers, Apoc
Oh wow, can't believe I have only just found this thread! your Art-fu is amazing and if I may, I would love to get a couple of characters brought to life. Drake profile and appearance:
He is 5'11" and of a athletic build not bulky from years spent ranging. He has a handsome square-jawed face with a short beard which he uses in attempt to cover a deep, old scar down the left side of his face. His hair is thick, shaggy and blond at about shoulders length.
He wears old and an oft repaired studded leather tunic of faded black (nearly grey from years of washing, repair and wear) shirt and trousers; he carries a large sword (Great sword) and a longbow slung at his back. All of his equipment is left over from previous rangers and is well looked after and well treated. He is a fairly happy go lucky type and is usually quick to laugh and share a joke, always having at least a half smile on his face.
Drake's story - He was originally drawn up to play in quest for the everflame but the group didn't work out. I had taken the time to make him and flesh out a back story for him and so I ported him over to PFS and have had an amazing time playing him! Have only been playing RPGs for a year, so may not be up to some of the great standards already set on here! This is the original story for him:
Drake's story:
Drake was not born under a mystic sign, with a magical sword, heir to a lost kingdom or even a mysterious child delivered to the steps of the temple one dark night. He is the third son of a local merchant, and being the third son was surplus to requirements. His brothers would take over the family business and his father would not have him living off his profits; so he was sent out to find his own way in the world. His way led him to the town's rangers, where he showed aptitude in both tracking, combat and knowledge of the local area. It was while out tracking with Arnama, that Drake earned his right to carry the Everflame in this year's quest, by discovering a number of Orc tracks leading back to a cave deep in the Broken Crags, the very caves the village use in times of danger. The Orcs had been raiding the outlying farms and buildings of Kassen for weeks, but by the time the town 's watch arrived they had vanished without a trace. The small boat moored by the river explained why the rangers could not track the Orcs back to where they came from. Despite being outnumbered, the two rangers quickly dispatched the green skinned raiders, but not before their chief could deliver a savage cut to Drake, barely missing his eye and opening his face from cheek down to chin. After a number of stitches and a dressing from Arnama, the pair explored the cave and found several sacks of grain, a number of stolen valuables and even managed to return farmer Erstwick's prize winning Hog; Daisy! They loaded the boat and returned to Kassen. Away from ranging on his rare days off, he can be found playing dice or tiles with his friends in the Seven Silvers with a drink never far from his hand and a jape and a smile even closer. Standing at 5' 11", Drake has Shaggy blonde hair and a beard that covers the scar down the left side of his face. He wears an old, badly repaired studded leather tunic and faded black (nearly grey from years of washing and wear) shirt and trousers; he carries a large sword and a longbow slung at his back. All of his equipment is left over from previous rangers, but he dreams of one day being able to buy his own.
I have a second character that is so much fun to play i would love to see what you can do with her: Rhea Rhea's details:
Rhea is an Elven wizard She is 6'4" and of a slender build and pale. She has spent a number of years locked away, researching as an obsession any scroll, magical item or pursuit of power that she can get her pale skinned hands upon. Her rare excursions away from her research is to take in over the top and hammy shows at the local theatre where she has learned the finer points of communication... ... or not. She wears expensive dresses of the finest cuts and styles, her jet black hair is usually pulled back into a bun but a lock or two always seems to escape. In her hand at all times is an ornate book of her arcane research. I have a mini that i painted up for her if my description is not up to scratch enough - Halfway down the page
If you can do something for them that would be fantastic. Look forward to seeing what else you come up with for the other guys and gals on here too. Apoc |
